I'm finally typing up the stuff I wrote down about our magician detective sitcom!

Character info dump:

Jack Flagg: The central character of the series is a British magician working as a private detective/police consultant in America. He's kind of an asshole, but he loves animals (such as his flock of pet doves that his sister named after famous magicians) and is a feminist (as are all the main characters). His little sister, Dani, lives with him, and is pre-med at the local university. Both Flaggs are ethnically ambiguous for now.

Dave Bauman: Dave is a police officer in training to be a detective under the instruction of Justine Barakat, the station's head detective. Overall, he's a pretty good detective, but he has a tendency to be clueless when it comes to international affairs. His family is African in descent, with some Cajun on his father's side. Dave has a history with low blood sugar issues, so he likes to bake cookies in his spare time. Snickerdoodles are his favorites.

Justine Barakat: Justine is the head detective at her station. She's a Muslim and a vegetarian, and despite some citizens not agreeing with her views, most people admit that she is one of the best detectives in the city's history. She's not afraid to ask for help when she needs it, because "conceitedness doesn't help anyone" and she cares more about doing the right thing than about getting the glory for doing the right thing. She's a pretty chill person about most things, as long as you're not bigoted and you don't mess with her Supergirl coffee mug.

Chief Nunez: Rosa Nunez made local history by being the first openly queer, Hispanic person to be elected Chief of Police. She and her wife have an adopted son who is currently a first-grader. Rosa doesn't always appreciate the main team's antics, but puts up with them as long as the job gets done. However, she did ban April Fool's pranks at the station after an incident involving an air horn and multiple cans of whipped cream.

Dani Flagg: Jack's little sister, Dani, shares an apartment with her brother while she's a part of the local college's pre-med program. Her ever-expanding medical knowledge occasionally comes in handy when Jack's hitting a dead end. On weekends, she has a job at the local roller rink, helping little kids with their skates and making sure everyone has the right sizes. A skater herself, her roller skates are her main mode of transportation, since she's not a great driver ("Stupid Americans driving on the wrong side of the road!").

so like jack would be doing his whole ~magician show~ thing and then a CRIME HAPPENS and so justine and dave would be called in i guess and then jack is like 'what the fuck is this i was doing my THING' and solves the crime b/c how DARE you do a crime in the middle of his show and that's how things Get Started
